Hi all,
I'm updating my remote host from the viewer dashboard but, after the acknowledge of upgrading starting, my host does not restart by itself
I have waited 10 minutes t but still it isnt started yet
is there some flag to be settled in the host settings?
thanks

Hi all, a little update:

I have tried right now to upgrade a remote host.
I have seen that the service "remote utilities - host" (automatic), during the upgrade, had been uninstalled and installed again (automatic as well).
But it has never been started: it stays stopped.

I guess I'm making some mistake but I dont know where.

I simply launch, from the viewer, the "simple update" feature...

Maybe some settings to touch?

thanks to all

yes, guess it is a PC issue
on another PC it just happens that the remote host was correctly uninstalled but the installation of the new version never started...
I will check if something disturbs...
thank you!

Hello Marco,

Yes, sometimes the Host installation might be interrupted, for example by some firewall/antivirus software activity.

Please feel free to let us know if there are any updates on the issue.

The most simple solution to this not-so-uncommon problem, is downloading the current version of the Host.exe, and install it. Your settings will remain, even (if you wish, and un-tick the option) your password.
